Everything is so wonderfully shiny at the Vancouver International Autoshow<\/a>. \u00a0Bring your shades; you’ll need them as you step through the doors at the Vancouver Convention Centre<\/a>. \u00a0From now until Sunday afternoon, the Convention Centre<\/a> is packed to the gills with gorgeous, drool-worthy cars. \u00a0Best of all…you can sit in them and pretend they are yours.<\/p>\n

I’ll admit to being trepidatious at taking our 3 & 5 year olds to a car show; I worried there would be nothing for them to do. \u00a0But, since kids six years and under are FREE<\/a>, I figured the organizers expected kids on the premises. \u00a0Sure enough, our kids were as welcome as every adult.<\/p>\n

We started our Autoshow<\/a> experience at the Subaru Rally Car simulated driving. \u00a0Despite our kids being too short to reach the pedals, they were still allowed to drive (they steered while Dad pushed the gas). \u00a0Without a doubt the simulated driving was the favourite activity for our five year old.<\/p>\n

On the display floor, the vast majority of the cars were open for anyone and everyone to climb in. \u00a0We made our kids take off their shoes each and every time they climbed in a car. \u00a0I know what my car looks like; I didn’t want to be responsible for showing the brand new cars that same sort of TLC. \u00a0Our three year old LOVED clamouring in and out of cars.<\/p>\n

Should you wish to explore the car show at a leisurely place, your kids are invited to enjoy the Volkswagen Children’s Playcare Centre<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In addition to the wonderful cars, there are special events and contests. \u00a0On Saturday, Mustangs will be arriving in droves to the Jack Poole Plaza; on Sunday, it is the Porsche Club’s turn.<\/p>\n

The Vancouver International Autoshow runs Friday (noon – 10pm), Saturday (10am – 10pm) & Sunday (10am – 4pm). \u00a0Kids 6 & under are free; youth (7-12 years) and seniors are $10; adults are $15. \u00a0You can either onsite or\u00a0online<\/a>. \u00a0Enjoy…and try not to drool on the cars!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
